Abstract:
: Placenta accreta is defined as an abnormal adherence of the placenta to the myometrium, resulting from a defect in implantation and decidualization of the basal decidua. This condition is becoming increasingly common in modern obstetrics, with a scarred uterus being the main risk factor. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) play a crucial role in the diagnosis and therapeutic strategy. We report a case of fundal placenta accreta identified in our facility. The patient, a 39-year-old woman with a history of two uterine scars, presented at 19 weeks of amenorrhea with metrorrhagia. Obstetric ultrasound and MRI confirmed the presence of fundal placenta accreta. Through this case, we discuss the radiological diagnostic approach and therapeutic management of this rare localization of placenta accreta.
